do you have to use that other pedal for the stab?

[Lordofthethings2]

yes. instead of putting the stab control as a manual pot knob as in the original, i have left it out for external control. you can hook up any passive expression / volume pedal to it as long as the pot inside the pedal is 10-20k which most of them usually are.

hope that makes sense. :)

some schematic? please

[Lordofthethings2]

search google for schematics of fuzz factory...plenty of them around

[Lordofthethings2]

Good comment. However, i dont recall Dallas Arbiter changing the name of 'Fuzz Face' when they started using Silicon transistors. In a similar fashion, this is a Fuzz factory with Silicon transistors :)

@Lordofthethings2 Whereabouts did you get your Circuit Print from? Did you make it yourself from a schem? or did you copy/dl it from somewhere?

@chami86 silicone rather than germanium do have a nicer tone were the fuzzfactory tails out this should be a nicer sustain

[williamshatnerspants]

nice work dude! I had the same idea of the expression pedal in my DIY..... sort of like a fuzz probe without the expense!
